Vanillite Stars in April 2025 Pokémon Go Community Day, Adding Snowy Fun to Spring

As we approach the Spring season, Pokémon Go players will experience a chilly twist during the upcoming Community Day event on April 27th, from 2:00 to 5:00 pm local time. The spotlight will be on Vanillite, the Fresh Snow Pokémon, which will appear more frequently in the wild. Keep your eyes peeled, as you might just encounter its Shiny variant, adding an extra layer of excitement to your hunt.

The thrill of catching Vanillite extends beyond the initial encounter. Evolve it into Vanilluxe during the event window or up until May 4th, and it will learn the powerful Charged Attack, Avalanche. This move boasts 90 power in Trainer Battles and 85 power in Gyms and Raids, significantly enhancing your battle strategy.

For those looking to dive deeper into the frosty festivities, a Community Day Special Research ticket is available for just $2. This ticket unlocks tasks that reward encounters with Vanillite, complete with a Might and Mastery-themed special background. Additional perks include extra Vanillite encounters, a Premium Battle Pass, Rare Candy XL, and more.

A Timed Research opportunity will also be available, extending through the following week, offering another chance to catch Vanillite with the exclusive backdrop. Additionally, themed Field Research tasks will provide opportunities to earn Stardust, Great Balls, and further encounters with Vanillite, some of which may feature the special event background.

Throughout the event, players will benefit from several bonuses designed to maximize your gameplay experience. You'll earn triple XP for catches, double the Candy for each Pokémon caught, and Trainers level 31 and above will enjoy double the odds of receiving Candy XL. Lure Modules and Incense will last for three hours, and trading will come with discounts, making this a perfect time to bolster your Pokémon collection.
